Cultured Marble
Cultured Marble is still used today for some sinks and vanities but was extensively used in the 70 and 80s as a way of providing a durable finish for vanities and sink used in the building industry expecially in apartments and tract homes. Cultured marble is an aggregate concrete type of material as a base and a color sheet and clear added on top which makes it difficult to sand as the surface is very thin. Cultured marble is also subject to cracking around the drain as it isnt as forgiving regarding thermal shock which is the instantanious temperature fluxuation utilized in bathroom and kitchen sinks. Fortunately cultured marble is not nearly as common today as most of these have been finished over or replaced. Call RME I Can Fix That Tahoe for your free estimate should it be required.
